Stereo 1176 DIY Audio Compressor Kit (english)

In this video I'm building the MS76 kit - a DIY audio compressor kit for a classic stereo 1167. While 1176 kits are fairly common - I'm building a version that can either work in dual mono or ms-stereo mode.

I love how Europeans who routinely speak three or more languages often say their English is lousy and then proceed to speak better than many native speakers! Great job!

[@Jake_Karfield]

Hey, your English is actually pretty good!

Thanks a lot!

You're amazing really! Seeing how you designed the interface and then 3D printed the cable connectors shows how dedicated you are. Thanks for your great videos and greetings from Hamburg!

[@eddyray666]

I was considering buying this kit. No fucking way 😂 amazing work man!!

[@Canaris]

Also der "production value" Deiner Videos ist wirklich unglaublich. Richtig gute Arbeit. Daumen hoch!

Danke dir!

[@snareoutanowhere]

Your English is better than my German, and it isn't a close competition

[@deadmusik9969]

Will be buying for Christmas hopefully I can build

[@hogblockula9335]

It's stunning. I think i'm gonna get the SSL Bus Comp clone from them, and then give this one a shot.

Thanks! If possible, get the sidechain board as well. That's an incredibly useful addition!

[@dpinskey]

Beautifully done. Your english and audio & video examples were all very easy to understand. I just got into using 500 series hardware, and while they are cheaper than the full-sized versions, they still are not cheap. Your video makes me think it might not be totally impossible for me to at least attempt to build my own some day. Maybe. Can you give some examples as to how much of a savings you were able to make by doing a DIY kit and how much time it took and the degree of difficulty vs just plunking down a bunch of money on a factory built model where one could be totally confident that the parts were put together perfectly to spec and also have the added protection of having a full manufacturer’s warranty?

[@nevilovermann797]

Fantastic! I have been considering a build like this for a while. Your video is sure to be of great help. Very clear and informative. Thank you! Best audio DIY channel on youtube! :)

Thanks! The MS76 was a fantastic build!

Thank you i am thinking of building my own analog studio myself and modifying some things

[@DionysisKonstantinidesHR]

Thank you for the amazing tutorial ! More English tutorials please

[@BRINGYOURSONG]

English version of the U76 would be greatly appreciated. I love that you're approach is so well done. Video, background music ... every detail is done very well.

Really happy to see you're doing videos in English dude. Been following your blog but this video slipped passed me. Glad I found it. Keep up the good work

[@BENINIMUSIC]

I just found your channel and it's amazing! Thanks for sharing this priceless info!

Honestly, the best thing about these is how fucking cool they look with those “barometers”

Thanks for the English version (your English is fantastic, by the way)! I'm commenting letting you know that more in English would be watched by me! Thanks!

[@tuttlesoundlabs]

Nice work!

[@methodofkolishin]

Amazing! Thank you for the wonderfully detailed video!

mach alles auf englisch. du hast ein größeres publikum verdient!

Mal sehen - ich glaub ja, dass meine etwas rotzige Moderation auf deutsch schon ganz gut ist. Und das lässt sich nicht wirklich übersetzen... Aber danke! :)

So cool.

[@gurindersingh7933]

Such a meaningful video,, please suggest a device which make the two mono signal into stereo,,,like for example if I get two 1176 hardware units and then make it stereo and route back into my daw

[@muzk8887]

fascinating. thank you so much, i am planning to build my own stuff with pcbgrinder [or the like] in the future. :)

[@hugograve]

Great video thanks for all the info

I build the don 1176 too, sounds really good... you also found the light in the VU meter... ? (it wasn't in the manual)

Moin Götz, das war jetzt aber ein exzellentes Vorstellungsvideo! Muss ich gleich nochmal schauen. Dein Englisch ist klasse, nix wofür Du dich schämen müsstest UND ich hatte keine Probleme es zu verstehen obwohl ich in der Schule kein Englisch lernen durfte ;-). Machst Du noch weitere Videos in Englisch? Deine Reichweite würde sich dadurch vervielfachen... I'm looking forward to your next video ;-)

Danke dir! Kurzfristig werde ich weiterhin die Videos auf Deutsch machen und ab und zu zusätzlich eine englische Version vom gleichen Video. Das auf englisch zu schreiben und zu moderieren war nämlich deutlich zetaufwändiger als "mal eben" auf deutsch "runterlabern" :-) Wie's dann nächstes Jahr wird - who knows...

I’ve been waiting for you to finally do one in English. Can you do one on you ssl comp build next please!

Thanks Josh! The SSL build was a long time ago and I have no footage building it. But I definitely have some english videos in the making!

[@Garock2]

Yes, please I'd apreciate

[@gurindersingh7933]

very very educational also musical .suggest me diy mastering compressor . my question is why not any compressor is not suitable for whole mix bus i mean to say master or there is any difference in mix and master bus . i am very new to this world.

Of course you can use any compressor for mastering - use whatever gives you the sound that you want to achieve. Mastering compressors usually have additional parameters and features that are helpful for mastering, for example sidechain filters or a wet/dry blend.

[@PhaktTheIsolationist]

Haaaaaaaaaaaaaang about?!?!?!?! THIS IS THAT BEHRINGER GUY!!!

[@alexeykokh8240]

Amazing designs

Thanks a lot!

[@casimsalabim]

what a fantastic pice of gear!!!!

Thanks a lot!

[@lonnyhandwork422]

Great job. Frankly, your English is better that some native English speaking YTubers. I was confused by your comment that dual 1176s would need to be modified to run stereo. Don’t you just run the left channel into one and the right into the the second? What am I missing? Thanks!

Thanks Lonny! Running a stereo mix into two mono compressors will change the stereo image. Imagine a guitar mixed to the middle (meaning same volume on both the left and right channel) and then a loud instrument mixed to the left channel. Only the compressor for the left channel will engage and reduce the gain. Since this also reduces the volume of the guitar on the left channel it will shift the stereo image of the guitar from the center to the right channel since there is no compression and the signal is now louder compared to the left channel. To get rid of this problem a real stereo compressor will will combine the left and right channel to a mono signal (or at least 2/3 mono) and send this to the detection circuit. If you have compressors with a sidechain input you can do this mono mix outside the box but since a 1176 doesn't have an external sidechain input you would need to modify it internally.

[@lonnyhandwork422]

Götz Müller-Dürholt Thanks for the detailed reply - makes total sense now!

[@ruthlesscutthroat4030]

how much did it add up to, just the pcb and electronic components. not the case

[@mrsickstring]

great job! this sounds great! live in los angeles. i want to get a diy 500 series kit equalizer and compressor. may you please recommend where i can buy. seems alot of these companies are european, or at least the ones that make the great sounding diy kits. thank you in advance.

In the US check out www.capi-gear.com

Wow this is awesome! How exactly did you get the front panel made of metal? Did you get that manufactured some where?

Where to order online? Which store and website please. Thanks!

Godamnit your giving me another expensive hobbie haha great vid tho! English sounds great btw. Cheers from the states.

Great video. I'm looking forward to seeing some more English videos. Ich spreche sie deutsche nicht zer güt. ;-)

[@storsender5523]

Hi Götz, was wären denn deiner Meinung nach ein noch einfacheres Einsteigerprojekt? Ich bin eigentlich auf der Suche, nach einem solchen, für Anfänger. Gruß, Boris

Hi Boris, zB ein Gitarrenpedal oder ein Mikro-Preamp im 500er Format. VP 26 von Capi zB. Musst du zwar aus den USA bestellen, hat aber unfassbar wenige Teile und ist klanglich top.

[@storsender5523]

@ Danke auch für den Tip zu Capi VP 26 :-) Toller Kanal

[@bradn7]

Where do you keep finding all of these kits to work on?

[@lw8661]

Wirst du jetzt immer englische Videos machen oder wieder Deutsche oder wirst du gucken wieviele Zuschauer du jetzt mehr hast mit einem englischen Video und dann entscheiden?

Kurzfristig werde ich weiterhin die Videos auf Deutsch machen und ab und zu zusätzlich eine englische Version vom gleichen Video machen. Und dann schau ich mal...

[@SirchLP]

Wie schließt man die ganzen Geräte denn an,sowas das man sie im Mix verwenden kann und nicht in der Aufnahme? lg

[@michaelpxd6325]

Mal ne Frage, Hast du zufällig Elektroniker für Geräte und Systeme gelernt? :D

[@TheCookieCoolMan]

But does it do british mode? Btw, I'd love to see the API version build as well.

[@BigFatCock0]

That's what the 'All In' switch is for.

[@pyrofoxderechte7805]

Er lebt noch lange kein Video mehr von Dir gesehen

:-D

[@janparra9551]

How much is the kit?

[@stephm0]

You're not heating the pads enough, the solder should be able to pass through the hole and form a convex fillet on the other side. Also clip the leads before soldering, not after, to prevent shock on the solder joint.

[@pyrofoxderechte7805]
